Looking ahead, our Academic & Research Committee and Marketing Committee have finalised the 2026 Symposium topics and CPE calendar. Having this in place well in advance ensures that members can plan their learning journey for the year ahead. At the time of writing, we are also preparing for our Healthy Brain Symposium on 30 August, with over 250 delegates attending in person and a few hundred more streaming online. With an outstanding line-up of speakers, it promises to be one of the highlights of our professional year.
And of course, we are also preparing for our premier annual event – The Winning Edge: Future Proof Your Career, to be held in Sydney on Saturday 8 November 2025, alongside our AGM. This one-day conference will bring together leading experts to share insights into the future of healthcare, research, technology, and practice success. With dedicated Business and Scientific streams, it offers a unique opportunity to tailor your learning experience. Whether you want to strengthen your clinical expertise, integrate new technologies, or scale your business with confidence, this conference is designed to equip you with the strategies and inspiration you need. We will finish the day with our Gala Dinner – Gatsby Style – a celebration of our profession, our community, and the announcement of this year’ s ATMS Natural Medicine Awards. It is always a wonderful evening of connection and recognition.
